Description 

The APD 44xx series accepts 1 to 4 DC voltage or current 
inputs, depending on the model. They provide an optically 
isolated DC voltage or current output that is calculated from 
the mathematical function built in to the module.
Full 3-way isolation (input, output, power) makes this module 
useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejec-
tion or noise pickup reduction. The inputs are not isolated from 
each other. 
The APD 44xx series can be wired to allow a mA output to be 
either sinking (passive) or sourcing (active). 

LoopTracker 

API exclusive features include a green LoopTracker LED that 
varies in intensity with changes in the process input signal. It 
provides a quick indication of your process input at all times 
and can greatly aid in saving time during initial startup and/or 
troubleshooting.

Functional Test 

An API exclusive feature includes the Functional Test Button to 
provide a fixed output (independent of the input) when enabled. 
The test output level is potentiometer adjustable from 0 to 100% 
of output span. The functional test button can greatly aid in sav-
ing time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting.
